Ty France ($3,200) is crushing this year with a 166 wRC+ and a 92nd percentile xwOBA. The Mariners are a fantastic value stack in an extreme hitter’s environment in Fenway Park, and France will be batting second in the lineup. Opposing starter Martin Perez has a 5.93 ERA and righties like France have the advantage against the southpaw. It’s perfect Tyming to get France in your lineups.

Jacob deGrom, SP: $12,500 – FanDuel is trying their hardest to keep us off deGrom with this price. You’ll need to roster lots of value bats to afford him, but the payoff will be large. deGrom has 35 strikeouts to just three walks and one earned run in 20 innings.
Yu Darvish, SP: $10,200 – If the hitters you are targeting make deGrom unrealistic, Darvish is an outstanding alternative. He had no issues with the Dodgers last time out, allowing one run in seven innings with nine strikeouts. Darvish now has a 2.15 ERA in his last 16 starts.
Matt Olson, 1B: $3,700 – Olson is absolutely smoking the ball with a 201 wRC+. The most encouraging sign may be Olson’s .316 average and career best 16.7% K-rate. He can easily keep mashing in a hitter’s park in Baltimore.
Josh Donaldson, 3B: $3,300 – Donaldson has wasted no time since returning from the injured list, batting .533 in his last five games. Donaldson can mash when he’s on the field and will see lots of opportunities to score fantasy points batting second for the Twins.
Xander Bogaerts, SS: $3,300 – Bogaerts is underpriced for his level of production, with a .371/.413/.557 line. He’s got a 130 wRC+ in his career against left-handed pitchers and will be facing one at home in a hitter’s park.
Mitch Haniger, OF: $3,400 – Another cheap Mariner, and I really can’t explain the price here. Money Mitch has a .955 OPS and is in a tremendous spot batting leadoff.
Andrew McCutchen, OF: $3,700 – The Phillies are in Coors Field, the league’s top hitting environment, and most of their bats are priced up accordingly. That being said, the Phillies lineup has a ton of upside and Cutch can score some runs atop the order.
Charlie Blackmon, OF: $3,900 – On the other side of the matchup, the Rox face Vince Velasquez and his 9.00 ERA. The price on these Coors hitters might suppress some rostership, so grab some if you can afford them.
I’m Only Happy When It Rains
No weather that should force any postponements, but watch Pirates-Twins and Reds-Cardinals for any potential delays.
Doing Lines In Vegas
I’m interested in the Marlins at +120 with Sandy Alcantara on the mound, as he’s got a 2.57 FIP.
